First Line: Since so ye please to hear me plain
Last Line: And now I leave it to them that lust.
Alternate Author Name(s): Wyat, Thomas
Subject(s): Cruelty; Hearts; Lust


Since so ye please to hear me plain,
And that ye do rejoice my smart,
Me list no longer to remain
To such as be so overthwart.

But cursed be that cruel heart
Which hath procured a careless mind
For me and mine unfained smart,
And forceth me such faults to find.

More than too much I am assured
Of thine intent, whereto to trust;
A speedless proof I have endured,
And now I leave it to them that lust.
